I'm assuming everyone here backs up their data on a regular basis. So, I'd be glad to hear opinions on backup software. I'm looking for a new software solution (my current system is starting to be unsustainable) for backups to a NAS and other external hard drives. I've been looking around, but nothing has jumped out at me. It's a really important thing to get right, obviously.

I don't need anything super fancy, just incremental daily (or more frequent) backups of certain folders and drives. The thing is, windows backup system, mac time machine, and some other systems that I've seen seem to create images, catalogs, weird zipped buckets of data that can be restored using the same software. I don't trust that. I just want my files AS IS in another location. I don't get why there has to be a complicated system that can't be accessed by mounting the drive and looking at the files.

So, any thoughts?
